I ordered my’15 XLT as close as I could get to my specs given the limitations on how you can order a new truck. Just installed my Raptor wheels and tires, got the Raptor style brakes and shocks and a couple under hood things for the 5.0. I’m getting headed towards geezerhood and plan to keep this truck for the duration. Old guy. Old truck. Are there any particular tools that’ll help me avoid hassles with dealerships and what not, like a quality code reader? Not that I’m totally against dealing with dealerships. I happen to trust mine. Thanks!
I'm pretty good under the hood, but when I did brake rotor and pad replacement, I discovered through this forum, that I needed to get a computer bleed. You know mechanics don't look kindly at people who fail in repairs and ask them for a bail-out. Kinda sucked.
Like my laptop, which has more in common to my truck than you'd imagine, the on board computers go out of date before the mechanicals. It could be that I just prefer to work on prewar stuff, but the last time I opened the hood was when I bought the thing to see if it did indeed have an engine.

Same thing I did on my 2018, I had to order it to get what I wanted I have retired and working part time to keep my wife from killing me. I intend to start my modifications, in a year or so when I get the Credit Cards paid off. I'm only going to keep 1.

I've had my truck longer than I ever thought I would. It looks like I will have it for quite sometime to come given the current market. I'm happy to keep it.
I have 108K+ miles on my 2015 XLT 302A 5.0L and have no plans on replacing it anytime soon. Except for some gravel dings on the hood and the golf ball size bullseye in the windshield, it still looks and drives like new. It actually drives/runs better than new with the tune and the Bilsteins in the rear. The golf ball bullseye has been there since it was 6 months old. No hurry to shell out $600 for an OEM windshield.
